I've been away from the computer since June 2022. It's literally like a breath of fresh air to be back with you guys. I'm ready to snuggle in for a long Canadian winter in a couple of weeks. So nice to have over a year's backlog of your videos in store and oh, how exciting, a new channel too! W00t! Love playing "Spot the Find" Alex. I am woefully out of practice. Adjusting to monocular vision while vicariously mud-larking. There's a wonderful winter ... goal. Best dust off the vocabulary. A word for goal or objective beginning with a"W" anyone?

Found some old clothes, some nice cobalt blue bottles, and some old makeup containers. Keep up the awesome work! Love from new york ❤❤❤

Gail and Alex, Do you ever find whole Cod Bottles? The first one I ever saw was in a junk store in San Angelo, Tx. in the late’70s. It was enchanting. I bought it. It still is fascinating. The label is “Newcastle Upon Tyne and District Aerated Water Limited.” On the back the double Seahorse trademark. The glass is heavy, shiny and dense. The matte marble rattles in the piggy nose. It still has its gasket in the applied lip! How did it find its way to Texas years before EBay? Congrats on finding your whole cake topper. Happy hunting.

22:44 the copper alloy cross is a stud or mount a regular find among detectorists on medieval sites but they were also used it is thought for coffins and these studs have been copied from medieval times right through to the 19th century - the Cross itself may have had something to do with the Knights of St.John or like Templars or Hospital -ers

I think this foreshore is one of my favourite places you lark at ladie. There's always such interesting finds you seem to get when there. The little cross was very interesting. I wonder what it came off. It was certainly a pretty little thing. It straightened out really well. Eeek, that shaving brush history was very disturbing. I never knew they used to use badger fur for shaving brushes. My grand fathers were traditionally black/dark coloured roots and white topped fur, so i can see that was probably why. Not badger I'm presuming, but made to look like it. Definately a time to grow a beard. 😬 Congratulations on being listened to by the river gods. They certainly gave you a lovely birthday gift Alex. A little belated, but hey...no complaints at finding that butler cake decoration. He was a fab find. I'm looking forward to seeing some of your collections. Especially the morning buttons. I love those little beauties so much. There's so many different ones. A lovely item to collect. Even though they were bought for such sad occasions. Are you displaying them at all, if so...how. They really are too pretty to be hidden in a draw. Though I've just remembered that pretty stamp draw you got. They would look lovely in on of those draws, with a plain coloured material of some sort, to lay them on. I'm also intrigued as to what your doing with all the pretty glass pieces your doing a project with. Lots to look forward to. Thank you ladies.
